Iresti is an iPad lap stand for the iPad tablet presented by Rain Design at MacWorld 2011. The stand allows us to use the iPad tablet without holding it in our hands and the interesting part is that this stand can be used to hold the iPad tablet both on fixed surfaces and in our arms. The stand has a support made of a very soft foam/sponge that does not embarrass the user while he holds the stand on his arms, so it should be quite comfortable. The concept it's interesting, but I think that the possibility of using it in bed is a bit exaggerated considering that we should hold a huge weight in our arms.
Here are some features of the dock:
- Super lightweight at only 14 ounces.
- Portable. Fold down design with detachable cushions
- Effortless adjustable incline. The tilt can be adjusted easily with the tension loaded hinge. Simply push the back leg to the desired angle and the stand will stay in place.
- Extra soft cushions. Detachable luxurious front and back cushions made from toy-safe materials for extra comfort.
- Padding. Rubber pads on iRest surface to prevent unintended scratches to iPad.
- Accommodates iPad with charging cable
- Able to hold iPad with Apple jacket accessory on.
- Desktop use: Convert to desktop use by removing the front cushion.
iRest iPad lap stand costs $49.99 and is available for pre-order from here.
